LyicsYe dying sons of men,
Immerg'd in sin and wo,
The gospel's voice attend,
While Jesus sends to you:
Ye perishing and guilty come,
In Jesus' arms there yet is room.
No longer now delay,
Nor vain excuses frame:
He bids you come today,
Tho' poor are ready, sinner come,
For every trembling soul there's room.
Believe the heavenly word,
His messengers proclaim;
He is a gracious Lord,
And faithful is his name:
Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off despair, there is yet room.
Compell'd by bleeding love,
Ye wandering sheep draw near,
Christ calls you from above;
His charming accents hear!
Let whosoever will, now come:
In mercy's breast there still is room.
